★ 展示內容

在全球化與科技迅速發展的時代，社會結構、價值觀與文化樣貌皆經歷劇烈轉變。博物館不再只是過去的保存者，更成為文化流動的橋樑，積極參與社會對話，回應當代需求。2026年的國際博物館日（International Museum Day, IMD）以「博物館：連結分裂的世界」（Museums Uniting a Divided World）為主題，強調在全球化與多元文化並存的背景下，博物館應作為文化交流的橋樑，打破隔閡並凝聚共識。
中台世界博物館響應全球博物館的串聯行動，推出「博物策動：策展人徵選活動」，透過學生策展人的視角，呈現對文化變遷的觀察與思考，並重新詮釋博物館的文化樣貌，進一步探索未來博物館的多元可能。
在本年度的作品中，有學生以動物為主題，探討其在宗教文化中的象徵意義與價值，並藉由動物信仰傳遞佛教「平等觀」的理念；亦有作品以玄奘法師或菩薩造像為核心，進一步討論多元文化與美學的演變，以及文化交流的深層意涵；更有學生以「策展」本身為題，反思當代博物館的展示理念與實踐方式。
透過「博物策動」的展示平台，中台世界博物館不僅激發年輕世代對文化傳承與創新的關注，也讓多元且新鮮的觀點得以被看見。從這些年輕的策展視角中，我們得以窺見當代博物館所承載的多元文化價值，並進一步促進不同文化與世代之間的對話與連結，使博物館在既凝聚又分歧的社會中，成為兼具文化保存與多元包容的重要場域。
2026 Curating Museums in Transformation: Student Curator Selection Competition — Micro Exhibition Statement
In an era of rapid globalization and technological advancement, social structures, values, and cultural landscapes are undergoing profound transformation. Museums are no longer merely preservers of the past; they have become dynamic bridges for cultural flow, actively engaging in social dialogue and responding to contemporary needs. The theme of International Museum Day (IMD) 2026, “Museums Uniting a Divided World,” underscores the role of museums in fostering cultural exchange, breaking down barriers, and building consensus within an increasingly diverse global context.
In response to this global initiative, the Chung Tai World Museum presents the Curating Museums in Transformation: Student Curator Selection Competition. Through the perspectives of student curators, the program offers reflections on cultural change, reinterprets the cultural identity of museums, and explores diverse possibilities for the future of museum practice.
This year’s projects reflect a wide range of themes. Some focus on animals in religious belief, exploring their symbolic meanings and significance to convey the Buddhist concept of equality. Others center on figures such as Master Xuanzang or Bodhisattva imagery, examining the evolution of multicultural aesthetics and the deeper significance of cultural exchange. Additionally, some projects take “curation” itself as their subject, offering critical reflections on contemporary exhibition concepts and practices.
Through this exhibition platform, the Chung Tai World Museum not only inspires younger generations to engage with cultural heritage and innovation, but also brings forward diverse and emerging perspectives. These youthful curatorial voices reveal the pluralistic values embodied by contemporary museums, fostering dialogue and connection across cultures and generations. In a world both cohesive and divided, museums continue to serve as vital spaces for cultural preservation and inclusive engagement.
